Pretty unfair, there's no way Mostert was expecting to have to make a tackle there. Just bracing himself for impact after being surprised by a ball carrier changing direction.
I presume you’re taking the piss
Nah man, why would you be expecting a player to use footwork? Not only that, you're advancing at a player that could well be carrying the ball when you meet, so there's no way you'd even think you might have to tackle them. Outrageous.
I am genuinely flummoxed
Oh, so that reasoning doesn't work now? I'm facetiously flummoxed. There was hardly even any force, Mostert went just as far back as Garbisi, you can see it in his feet.
Skinstad thinks the same as you
Led with shoulder, other arm tucked, straight to chin
If that’s not a RC I honestly don’t know what the fuck is
Ok now I'm genuinely flummoxed. If only that was the case when teams did it against black. Consistency, right?
That’s what I started with
We can’t go backwards only forwards
Consistency two weeks in a row
It’s a start
No, I was taking the piss, whereas unless you are, you've completely 180'd.
Finally
No, not taking the piss
Going with what the refs are seeing and ruling on
I think you should change your handle to mikethestarmer
Ha ha
More like Mike the Accepter
If that’s what they’re ruling, go with it
And no harping back even though it’s our national instrument
Oh to be fair, if we ignore the AB games, you have been consistent. It's a quality troll.

Rassie doesn't trust his "B" props. By the 25th minute, both Steenkamp and Louw have been called to replace the starters. I don't know if Louw has 60 minutes in his legs.
I doubt that's the case - he just knows he can bring them back on later when there's an "injury".
Rassie is clever and works within the laws.
It isn’t his fault the laws encourage abuse of subs. It is like watching rolling subs in league at times.

Italy have played the way the Boks would have wanted them to. Kept it narrow, kicked possession and played attritional rugby. Meat and drink for the Boks.
Yeah, no endeavour, no attacking rugby, despite having such electric outsides.

@MiketheSnow nice try.

Italy were excellent for 35 minutes, good for another twenty odd and then just ran out of tests quality players. Hats off to their staff and players. They are going to cause lots of teams trouble if they keep developing like they have since we played in the summer.
Mostert and Van Staaden with two of the dumbest acts we’ve seen since Doc R took over. Abject. The team fines session should be hilariously merciless.
Every other bok was very good to outstanding. Especially because the scrum reffing was almost worse than Mostert and van Staaden. Thankfully the Rugby Gods didn’t stand for it so Garbisi’s numbers took a bit of a hit.

Ok. I will say it.
Bullshit straight red against Mostert.
Well done to the Boks C-team despite that. -

Franco is tackling. No malice, and his technique is decent.
Players in possession move shape when another tackles them. Changes timing for the 2nd guy lining them up.
Nothing naïve from Mostert. Just piss-poor appreciation of the actual game by the officials who then rely on frame-by-frame stills. -

So now that we know that initial contact was with the upper chest, are we going to see Mostert banned anyway?
Is that still on the down or the up?

@MiketheSnow That's the initial contact

Based on photo, nothing to see.
